Near Kyōto station is Poco kissaten. I picked it for breakfast as it was open from 6:00 a.m. The morning sando set is a bargain 650 yen ($5) and includes a cup of coffee. The sliver of a shop is in a retro building in a part of the city that is being completely rebuilt so it sticks out.

My only disappointment is that smoking is permitted. 😭 Even the owner was smoking, so it’s hard to avoid cigarette smoke. I should have checked before going. So I ate as quickly as I could and got out of there. It felt like more restaurants and kissaten in the Kansai area of Ōsaka and Kyōto permitted smoking.

In this photo Kyōto station is in the background. It’s only a two-minute walk from the north exit.
